Such a beautiful bird. I would love to be able to take a walk in the woods and see one of these colorful beauties. Nicely captured.

It's a gorgeous bird, and this is a colourful and beautiful photo! Well done! It would be interesting to hear the sound they make that you mention. Ever consider posting a video on the video section of the Bird Forum? tfs!
